Well as I have said previously, it's because they are digging themselves into a hole that they will never get out of.
Barring a never seen before turnaround in sales, Nintendo will completely lose all good will with retailers, third parties, media, shareholders and consumers (and I don't mean Nintendo fans, I mean the millions of people the system is targetted at).
You see mainstream sites like CNET telling consumers to stay far away from the Wii U this christmas. Imagine what four more years of articles like that will do to consumer perception of Nintendo. Third parties have already stopped developing for the system, in four years time they'll have no interest in supporting whatever Nintendo do next.
I'm aware I am probably coming accross as some moronic Nintendo hater, but I really do love the company. I still think they're capable of creating the best games out there. But I can't accept this "oh well, they can't do better so just let it rot out there" attitude. If the Wii U is REALLY the best Nintendo can manage in 2013, it's time for them to accept they need to become a third party developer. Personally I think they are capable of SO much better and would like to see them drop this dud and aim for something to keep the company relevant. Four more years of this is not sustainable.
